The invertebrate collection is largely focused on marine, freshwater, and terrestrial invertebrate species from BC (insects, arachnids, and their relatives are represented in the entomology discipline).

The entomology discipline focuses on specimens of insects, arachnids, and their relatives.

As of 2010, the entomology collection included approximately 245 000 accessioned specimens and another 150 000 specimens not yet accessioned.

The genus "Chrysomya" is of great importance in forensic entomology, but most notably the medico-criminal field.

Gooley graduated from the University of Connecticut in 1957 with a B.S. in forestry and entomology.

Field schools currently include work in cultural landscapes, underwater archaeology, marine ecology, entomology, forensic anthropology, urban gardening, and documentary filmmaking.

Marshall's organisation took on the enormous task of writing up the ‘"Insecta"’ division of The Zoological Record. In 1916 he received an honorary doctorate from the University of Oxford for his contribution to economic entomology.

He held a chair of entomology at the Muséum national d'histoire naturelle in Paris from 1956 -1960.

Osten-Sacken, C. R. 1903: "Record of my life and work in entomology".

Beside painting, he also occupied himself with entomology, where he specialised in beetles.

In 1855, he founded the Belgian association for entomology, of which he became president in 1878.

Forensic entomologists are those involved in the branch of entomology that involves insects and violent crime or the law, known as forensic entomology.

This includes three main branches: medicocriminal entomology, urban entomology, and stored product entomology.

Many network with each other by forming groups such as the American Board of Forensic Entomology(ABFE), the North American Forensic Entomology Association (NAFEA) and the European Association of Forensic Entomology.

At the undergraduate level, most prospective students major in Entomology.

These include, but are not limited to: Biology, Chemistry, Genetics, Taxonomy, Medical entomology, Biochemistry, Forensic Law, Parasitology, and general entomology.

Summer internships and performing research or lab work in entomology are two ways entomologists suggest that undergraduates can become more prepared for their future work.

There are about sixty-two total scientists involved in the field of forensic entomology.

Eight percent say that this branch of entomology is one of their specialties.

Of the total, most are also affiliated with colleges such as Texas A University, Michigan State University, and University of California, Davis where entomology courses are taught and research conducted (Professional Status of Entomologists).

However, currently there are no graduate programs designed specifically for forensic entomology.

Senior Academic Advisor for the Department of Entomology at Texas A University, Rebecca Hapes, made it very clear that individual graduate students in entomology can focus their research on some aspect of forensic entomology, but there is no exclusive program.

Most of the entomologists considered to be professional hold a PhD or a MS in entomology or related fields (Professional Status of Forensic Entomologists).

Dr. Jeffrey Tomberlin, a professor at Texas A University with a PhD in Entomology says that the “sole exam available to date is through the American Board of Forensic Entomology” which is further restricted to only those with at least an MS degree.

Dr. Jeffery Tomberlin (former president of the North American Forensic Entomology Association) is an assistant professor for Texas A University's entomology department.

Dr. Tomberlin is most proud of his work with Dr. John Wallace (of Millersville University) in initiating the first conference on forensic entomology to be held in North America.

First held in Las Vegas, Nevada, about 50 people registered for the conference which is now in its 6th year and has paved the way for the development of the North American Forensic Entomology Association.

The urban and stored product entomology arenas are the areas, in his opinion, with the most potential for growth since they both impact the majority of the country in a way much closer to home.

He also hopes for more recognition of these two areas and their contribution to the field of entomology.

A fellow educator and member of the NAFEA, Dr. M. Eric Benbow, currently Assistant Professor of Entomology at Michigan State University, provided his own perspective on his career as well.

Dr. Benbow's own line of work involves his giving seminars and lectures that have to do with forensic entomology, routinely doing research involving both case and laboratory experiments, and serving on graduate student committees.

It is this commitment to continuing the education of their students that not only proves rewarding for these teachers, but also ensures that there will be others to take over their line of work in the still developing future of forensic entomology.

These cases illustrate the importance of the education, training, and job expertise needed to gain the necessary skills needed in forensic entomology.

One case in particular relates to the use of forensic entomology to solve a homicide.

The entomology therefore pointed strongly to the body only being accessed by insects in the middle of the month, so the prosecution argued that there was a delay in infestation.

Forensic entomology is not only applicable in homicide cases, but also in other legal matters.

The next case discusses the use of forensic entomology in an illegal poaching case.

In 1955 he became a student at the Biological Faculty of the Moscow State University and in 1960 he graduated with honors from the Department of Entomology.
